Ok, so now that I’ve finished modeling the bf2s medal, I am moving on to my next project.

Operation Smug Screen (working title)
The battle will take place near the UN building in downtown San Francisco.

Key features:
- Fast paced infantry combat on the streets, and underground within two subway stations
- One middle flag which can be captured fairly fast. Spawns one tank
- There will be two flags per subway station. One located near the entrance, and the other on the lowest level of the station. (2 floors deep)
- The upper flag on each station will spawn one jeep for quick transportation.

Things I am considering are:
- Whether connecting the two stations via tunnels or not. (obviously a claymore heaven)
- Removing jeeps entirely. Map will be small enough to move around on foot. Think of 16 player Karkand.
- Add another ground level flag to bring more of the combat above ground. I don’t want to make it a claustrophobic counter strike map. Ideally, I want the action to be 70% above ground, 30% underground.

A quick mock up of the map. (thanks google)

Feel free to reply with your flames, comments, suck ups etc. I appreciate your feedback.
Will have a rough test version up at some point, and would like to know who would be interested in testing with us. Our Saturday night gaming sessions would obviously be a great place to do this.

No details yet, but you can check my sig for a preview

It doesn't matter to which army it is at this point. Those are details that can be sorted out later. I'm concerned with the general flow of the map, and the balance.

My main concern right now are regarding the flow of the map, and trying to keep it balanced.

sounds good to me - the more urban cqc maps the better! i like the idea of underground components too, though they should be designed to avoid long narrow passages that would just turn into a nade spam fest

Agree with that. I hope the subway walls don't turn into C4 and clay heaven like Great Wall.

Psh, suck ass idea. -1 for you! Sounds cool, just make sure that jeeps can fit so they can go underground! That would be sweet driving down steps or something to the subway station and driving on the railway. Also, if you could put in a working subway so i dont have to run to the next flag.
kthxbye!

Yeah but make it so the jeeps can't get back up though - make sure there's no ramps back onto the platforms. Oh and avoid making the tunnels too tall - if they are just about head height, people can't jump and grenade lobbing/shooting distances will be reduced.

Still, sounds like a great idea. Reminds me of some custom BHD maps.

Put a flag in the middle as well. That way most of the players will spend their time there battleing it out for the centre flag leaving the other ones open for crap player such as myself to take.

My dream! To fight in a american city! Finally we can devastate their land as they do with other countries! GO MEC!!

* Great idea, urban maps are very popular and the tunnel system sounds good. You going to throw in night vision? Maybe?

As for the "smug" . Haha, couldn't stop laughing, San Fransisco and there smug , you go! ^^ Afrojap

i think its a pretty good idea, just one question would the roof tops be accesible? and if so would ther be any mounted weapons on them?

1) Kill the tank...(or the team with it will smoke everyone)

2) Consider limiting the jeep's to 1 per flag, will turn into a roadkill fest otherwise. (or put in forklifts everywhere and have forklift wars).

Regardless looks pretty cool and would fun to play!! +1 for you

It will, not way around that. However I will add structures to break up the area, and make it harder to block it with claymores.

As for the requests for removing the tanks, it's battlefield man, you gotta have at least one tank. It's not as bad as Karkand where 2 armor pieces can rub against each other for infinite health. Supply boxes are stationary, so if you are getting locked down to one flag, you could always take the underground route.

Yeah I'm liking that idea. Too bad there is no way to add SF content.

The current floor plan for the tunnels. The actual structure will be twice as long.

why not making it an SF map then? or since it wont be ranked anyway just make a new vehicle render and copy it from SF?

The way I understand it, there is no way to make SF maps at this time. The editor simply doesn't support it. I may have read old news though, because I just came up with this map idea yesterday and have only looked around for a little bit. If you have mapped before for bf2, shoot me a PM. Night vision in the tunnels would be sweeeeet.

That's the one thing I truely miss from playing Black Hawk Down (The only other FPS game I've played). Tunnels.

Great idea afrojap. I'd love to play there.

I didn't know there was a U.N. building in San Francisco. I have only heard of the one in NY City

The Map sounds great though
